Travel budget is always tight :-). I'd try to attend if possible. I can at least help writing some of the presentations.

Stefan,

Kit and I have given this type of talk in the past[1].  Having two (or 
three) speakers will definitely create a more interesting dynamic.

There are essentially four topics I'd like to cover:

1. Introduction to Eclipse globalization (message files, how it all 
works).  You probably know more about this than I do, but we can both 
share some slides.

2. The Babel server, the language packs, the pseudo translations. This 
would be my area.

3. The messages editor, TapiJi.  This would be your area

4. The Future of Babel @ Eclipse.  Here we could briefly talk about the 
possibilities of linking the messages editor to the server, the future 
of the plugins, etc.


This is the slide deck of a talk that Kit gave in 2008.  We can likely 
recycle lots of the content and update it for 2013.

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/sub/attachments/Introduction_to_the_Eclipse_Babel_Project.ppt

Also, these two abstracts can likely serve as a starting point for our 
abstract:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/?page=sub/&id=269
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2009/sessions?id=504

Stefan, if you want, I can draft up the abstract and post it here for 
your edits.  Then I (or yourself) can submit the talk.  Does that seem ok?

Kit, will you be joining us at ECon in Boston?

Denis


[1] I don't think I'll ever forget Nigel Westbury's funny response: "We 
can mail you the translations on a diskette" to someone who asked how to 
contribute without an Internet connection.
